I was reassured and felt very informed. He had a kind tone and I was very grateful for his cinsidrrate and speedy response. Mine was good news but the wait is always the worst part so having a speedy response was really appreciated. A huge Thank you to Prof Douek as on top of this my healing has been pain free. I said I was lucky but it more likely skill. Thankyou

I came away from this visit feeling confident that I was in good hands and would be well taken care of both by nurse Jo and Dr Douek. Dr Michael came across clearly and with empathy and answered my questions in a way I understood what to expect. It's never easy receiving a cancer diagnosis but having Dr Michael as my consultant and surgeon made it feel much less scary.
